This was Ford company's concept for entry in the 1974 Reno AirRaces. The forward landing gear was incorporated into the lower wings with a 30° dihedral. It was to be powered by a V-6 inline engine of the company's own design. Unfortunately the rules at the time restricted the engine by displacement. The Sorceress, a similar craft, was actually built and flown.
Landing at 10% throttle.
